Blowing with the autumn wind and rain, a group of GSID students started their DFW2104 Fieldwork from September 24 to September 26 in Odai Town, Mie Prefecture, Japan.

Within three day fieldwork, three working groups (WG1: ESD; WG2: Tea Industry; WG3: Forest Management) visited town office, schools, tea farmers, shops, forest association, NPOs to collect data they needed. Meanwhile, it was precious opportunity for our participants to explore and undestand the current situation of rural Japan. It is a good practice for them to experience the difficulties in conducting fieldworks, particularly in Japan.

WG1: ESD

WG2: Tea Industry

WG3: Forest Management

From now on, each group is going to focus on data analysis. In mid November, they will revisit Odai Town and make presentations on their findings and exchange ideas with local informants.
